Its not accurate and the only way to tell is to buy a thermal diod. :cheers:CPU: Opteron 165 @ 311x9 - 2817.8 mhz - 1.47v

the accuracy varies a good bit from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from model to model. The only way to really know for sure is to buy a hardware probe, such as a compunurse and monitor your temps that way.Comment

Your CPU does not idle in the BIOS so it will be slightly warmer than when read from software.Originally posted by Demon Keeler
However they both read from the same diode. If your CPU would idle in the BIOS it would give you the same reading as MBM.Comment
